This is thread is about weapons, technolgy and know how...
to define this thread and limit it... We only limit it to using period materials and technology but for combat knowledge and know how think of a modern weapon system that could change the way world war 2 would be fought... An example...
What if an experimental C-47 was used fitted with sidefiring weapons later known as AC-47 gunship appeard over the skies of the pacific and europe...
it is armed with a period developed .50 caliber BMG gatling guns developed from using period .50 cal guns or smaller .30 caliber gatling guns built from the barrels of m1919 machine guns their motors are from turret gunner chairs and powered by ram generators mounted under the aircraft.
Would this aircraft be usefull against ground forces?
Would the Gatling guns .50bmg and .30 cal change world war 2?
In a smaller note... Much minor examples...
Would a period developed .50 cal BMG sniper rifle be usefull back then?
What if the STG-44 came earlier use such as 1942 could the M2 Carbine be enough counter the threat?
